I have a lot of family that is actively in the military. And my cousins that are in are newlyweds. So hearing that you would do that is very upsetting to me. His leaving is no excuse and being a military wife you should know by now that there are others out there that do the same and many people who could be very helpful and supportive.
I also have a question. My friend came to me the other day with a question I had no answer to. She started her period on Saturday and had a decent regular flow the first day but since then it's only spotting. She and her husband have been trying to get pregnant for the past few months. And she wants to know if this is a sign that she is. She was really sad when a cheapy store bought test came back negative. Any ideas what could cause this?
My periods like that about twice a year and my tubes are tied and no possibility of getting pregnant, except by an act of God.
Being hopeful can cause women to look for a sign they are pregnant in anything, though more often they are not pregnant. All she can do is keeping hoping.
What are your chances of being pregnant if your boyfriend ejaculates in you 3 times in two days
It will depend on whether you are close to ovulation. If you are, the odds go up considerably. If you aren't, pregnancy won't happen.
Generally ovulation will happen about midcycle, but it can occur at anytime in a cycle... either on a regular basis, or as a fluke.
You can try a pregnancy test in a couple of weeks or wait until your next period is due and test at that time if need be.
Great idea for this board!! I am always amazed at the misinformation that is out there and I am 54 so I can only imagine how difficult it is for young child bearing women.Quote:

I certainly know that it is a common belief that pre-ejaculate has sperm in it, but examination of it in recent years has found that it has little to none. For years we were all taught that pregnancy could occur from any contact of the penis to the opening of the vagina, and we all live with that information today; even my colleagues on sexualhealth.com.
Sexual Health - Men Forum - Recent studies no sperm In pre ejaculateQuote:
n the "Journal of Assisted Reproduction Genetics, 2003 Apr;20(4):157-9. Zukerman asked "Does preejaculatory penile secretion originating from Cowper's gland contain sperm?" "Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tikva, Israel."
Their conclusion was "Preejaculatory fluid secreted at the tip of the urethra from Cowper's gland during sexual stimulation did not contain sperm and therefore cannot be responsible for pregnancies during coitus interruptus." You can't be more definitive than that.
Precum does not contain sperm UNLESS there was a previous ejaculation, then the sperm comes from semen still in the urethra.
There are many other reputable sites that confirm this latest research.So how do you answer this question?
What does cramping mean after unprotected sex and he ejaculates in you
Cramping can come from many things. It could be that he was a bit rough, you weren't wet enough, or could be residuals from an orgasm.Quote:

How old are you? Are you ready to be a mother, emotionally, physically and financially?

The main source of pre-ejaculate would likely not have sperm in it, however during increased arousal, this fluid can be combined with fluid with other glands (still just during a state of arousal), some that may indeed contain some sperm. It may be minuscule numbers, and it may not occur every time, but it is still possible.
Withdrawal method is fairly reliable when it is used correctly... albeit others are more effective. The problem often comes about when people get caught up in the moment and the withdrawl happens just late enough, even still before full ejaculation occurs. Most probably aren't even aware of it because they are focused on the big moment of release.
Thank-you! I know being a child born in the 50's with the church saying no to any form of birth control,I had a lot of friends who were conceived the same as I .If it wasn't withdraw,it was the good old rhythm method.Quote:

Do you two live together? Is he aware that you're trying to conceive? Does he want a baby? Is he ready?
There are so many factors to consider when bringing a child into this world. It's more than just wanting a child, it's being prepared to give over your life in order to raise a child.
I wish you luck. Take care.
Yes we are engaged we have been together for nine yrs and we are trying to have a baby together so to answer your question yes he knows I am trying get pregnant and I know it not about wanting a baby its taking care of the baby its not about you anymore its nomore being selfish I know this and if I wasn't ready I wouldn't be trying to have a baby... im ready to start my family I graduates college with my masters so I know what I'm getting myself into I know being a parent is not a part time job and I'm ready to have start my family... I wait until 26 to try to get pregnant when most girls today are teen mothersQuote:

I have two kids, I had my first when I was 27, my hubby and I have been together since we were 19. Being a parent is the hardest job I've ever had, and I've had some pretty hard jobs. ;)
I wish you all the best in starting your family, I hope it works out for you.
Good luck.
I wasn't trying to fight either but thanks I didn't no what the cramping meant
If you can ask anything, can anyone on here please look at my question, I'm wondering if I'm pregnant or not, my doctor said if he had to bet on it, he would bet I am, but my home tests and urine at the doctors have come bk negative yet I have all the symptoms and I'm just fed up off the not knowing. Forgot to say the doctor said I'm seven weeks gone, my mums didn't show up until after she was two months. Anyway my question is entitled doctor thinks I'm pregnant, negatice tests. Its under louise1200. If anyone that knows about pregnancy could answer it I would be very greatfull, if I am then this is my first. Thank you.
Louise, I'd love to be able to say "yes you are or no you're not" but I can't. I read your question, I think your best bet is to get the blood work done, wait for the results and go from there.
You're under a doctors care, even he can't say with 100% accuracy that you are.
Sadly I think you'll have to play the waiting game. Some women don't ever get a positive response on a home pregnancy test, for others it shows up instantly, and others, like your mom, don't get a positive until 2 months or more into their pregnancy.
Get the blood test, let us know the results. I wish we could give you an answer now, but that simply isn't in our power. Sorry.
Good luck.
That's OK, thank you anyway, its just I was worried I might be pregnant last yr, but it was just because my period was late, this time I've nearly skipped two and its completely different. My own cousin thinks I am, she felt my stomach and looked at my boobs for me, I'm cool with it either way, but it would be nice if I am. But really thank you, its nice to know sumone answers my questions lol, x
Hi I'm 26 year old and I had my period the first week of feb... I had unprotected sex on the 18 and the 19 and now its almost a week and a half later and I have cramps what does it mean
Since you are not far from when your next period would be due, it could just be signs that your body is getting ready to start a period. Many women will find the premenstrual symptoms are very much like signs of early pregnancy. Some women will be expecting their period anyday, feeling like they are about to start, only to find out they are pregnant when their period doesn't show up.
See what happens when your period is due.
Is there a chance that I could be pergnant
If the sex was right around the time of ovulation, then yes, you could be pregnant. If you happened to ovulate say on the 12th, for example, then no as your egg is only able to be fertilized in the first 12-24 hours after it is released. Best chances of getting pregnant are to have the sperm, which can live a few days prior to ovulation, ready and waiting.
There is actually a pretty small window of time each month a woman can become pregnant.
Thank you sorry for so many question but my period is suppose to come next week when will b the best time to test
Best time would be if your period doesn't show up. Some women do get accurate results a few days before their period is due, but the accuracy increases if you wait several days later.
I have got too questions for you...
Do u know anything about the metal rod birthcontrol that stays in for 3 years? I am going to see a gynocologist in 2 months and I am not too sure if it is a safe thing to do.
How do u like being a nurse? I am currently in school in process of becoming one. Any encouraging advice?
I'm sorry, I don't think I've ever heard of the metal rod. Is this implanted in the uterus similar to and IUD or is this a contraceptive implant usually implanted in the underside of the arm?Quote:

Even if you get a C on a test or for the semester, C means CONTINUE.
And
Study HARD!!
its inserted on the undereside of the arm
Me mom is becoming an RPN but I want to become and RN. Thank you though hat was very helpful.=)
Hi I'm new and I have a question I'm 28 yr old and trying to have a baby on feb 18 and 19 I had sex unprotected and again on the 22 my period was in the beginning of the month I also had sex on the 28 all of these time my fiancé ejaculated in me and my period came on march 3 is there still a chance of pregnancy
Period pretty typically = not pregnant.
It is VERY rare that someone is pregnant and is still menstrating.
How long does sperm stay in the body? According to my ovulation calendar. My fertile days were Feb 24th -27th. I think I ovulated on the 28th. I heard its best to have sex before ovulation. We did on the 25th. And again on the 28th. Is it a chance that the sperm from that day stayed till the 28th? I never paid attention to signs of ovulation and sorry to admit I'm still not 100 % when I do. I said I did the 28th because I had discharge. I only had that once the whole day. Another embarrassing question I have is Is ovulation and all day thing or a few hours? Yes I do have 3 children but again I never looked into how the whole process work until now. Sorry this post is long. Please forgive me.
Firstly let me say that your purple color is very pretty, but it makes it harder for us older folks to read.
Now, healthy sperm can last in the body for up to 5 days. As for ovulation, the egg is only viable for fertilization for a 24 hour period.
I'm sorry about the color. Thank you for your response.
Okay this one is Just out of curiosity. I have a friend who had a tubule ligation when she was younger. She wasn't supposed to be able to have children but she now has 2. I was just wondering what the odds were that would happen to someone else who has had this procedure.
It will depend on how it was done. Some will have an extremely low failure rate, less than 1%... others will be higher, roughly 3-5%. Most women will find a tubal ligation is a permanent form of birth control.
Are you sure she had a tubal before having any children? Most doctors will not do this until a woman has had at least 2 children.Quote:

And 3 years after having her little girl she got pregnant with her son. I was with her in the doctors office when she went in and found out she was pregnant with her son and he said for her having a tubal she shouldn't have had the first one let alone be pregnant with the second. She has lived in the same town her whole life so I am inclined to believe her medical records are correct.
Also, My sister has had 3 kids and because she is in her early 20's they said they would not do one for her because of her young age. Also they said it was because she may desided later on in life to have more kids. I don't know how accurat that is either because as I said my friend was in her 20's when she had hers done. But then again she is in her late 30's now so things may have changed
So I know there are hundreds of questions from women who are trying to 'read the signs' and figure out what everything means... I'd like to add another one! I'm 25, healthy, no previous pregnancies, and am in a long-term relationship with my fiancé. I've been taking the pill almost continuously since I was 18 but have recently experienced a change in my period. For the past several months it has been starting later and later (once I take the last 'real' pill, it normally starts within 2 - 3 days) but now it's been gradually starting later. Last month (middle of my cycle) my fiancé and I had sex and a few days afterwards I began spotting light-brown discharge for a few days then it stopped. I was supposed to start my period on Sunday (but didn't and it's now Thursday) and this afternoon I noticed a very bright pinkish/light red discharge but only briefly and nothing more. I am wondering if it's normal to suddenly have a change in my period these past several months (after years of the same) and then if the current lack-of-period could be indicative of a pregnancy? Or something else? Last pap was normal (less than a year ago) but the changes concern me. I'm supposed to re-start taking the 'real' pill tomorrow but I'll take a pregnancy test if there's still no period by then. Sorry for the long question: I'm just looking for reassurance that this is normal or whether it could be indicative of something else! Thanks in advance!
Pregnancy is possible as no contraception is 100% effective.
Thee are also a lot of other things that could cause what you are experiencing.
Head to your doctor and get a blood test done to confirm whether you are pregnant.
Ask him if you can be changed to a different pill...
I had to do this as after 3 years of being on the same pill my cycle started going out of whack, I would get my period in the middle of the 'real' pills but it would only be a brown discharge...
Contraception chaged, now I have no problems... :)
OK!
Sooo.. about a week and a half ago, my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex, however it was very short and he didn't ejaculate and he has NEVER had precum before. My period came right on time (seven days later) but it was dark red and brown. I usually have cramps and it is heavy when it starts but this time it's light (doesn't fill up a tampon completely) and it's not red anymore (it's the third day).
I have been under A LOT of stress, so I don't know if that could affect it this much but I'm hoping that I am not pregnant, since it is brown (I heard brown spotting means that I could be pregnant).
